Donald Trump attacks Meghan Markle, wishes Prince Harry ‘good luck’

President
Donald Trump, seemingly stung by Meghan Markle‘s recent comments about the
upcoming US elections, slammed the actress on Wednesday, saying he was
“not a fan” and wishing her husband Prince Harry an ironic “good
luck.”

Markle, the
former “Suits” star and current Duchess of Sussex, had urged
Americans to vote during an ABC primetime special Tuesday, telling viewers:
“Every four years, we’re told, ‘This is the most important election of our
lifetime.’ But this one is.”

When asked
about the actress’s recent comments, Trump told reporters: “I’m not a fan
of hers” before adding: “I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he’s
going to need it.”

Harry, who
appeared alongside Markle in their first joint TV appearance since leaving
Britain, added: “As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject
hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”

Neither
Meghan, 39, nor Harry, 36, mentioned Trump directly.

The couple
quit frontline British royal duties earlier this year and recently moved to
California with their one-year-old son, Archie.

“When
we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard,” Markle
said in the special revealing Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential
people of 2020.

Markle and
Harry have spoken of their desire to “do something of meaning, to do
something that matters,” in California, where they plan to launch a wide-ranging
non-profit organization.
